Sara Pam Neufeld tried so many things to get her kids out of the house on time in the mornings: “Bribery. Taking away spending money. Taking away screen time. Taking away dessert. (I know, you shouldn’t do that.) Writing out a minute-by-minute morning routine. (Why can’t we ever stick to routines?) Waking them up earlier. Waking them up later so they’re not so tired. Going to bed earlier. (Why doesn’t that stick, either?)”
Absolutely none of it worked. So she tried something new: doing nothing. Yes, you can do that! And it had interesting consequences.
